Well to say that Liberals are herd mentalities and conservatives do not is not exactly true.How would conservatives respond to a SCOTUS nomination of a Liberal even though it was shown he was a good judge? I can give you a few conservatives that would argue you can't be a good judge if you are liberal.

What of the Church community? That can be called a herd mentality. What is that battle cry? "Family Values." How many conservatives scream about states rights and yet were calling for a constitutional amen

Well to say that Liberals are herd mentalities and conservatives do not is not exactly true.

I never said such a thing. What I implied was the opposite: that it is as true of one group as the other. It's true for some people in each group, and not for many others.

"Sure, but on the other hand, we also have history to guide us. A filibuster was attempted against some liberal nominees under Clinton, but even though the Republicans had a majority, there were not nearly enough Republicans to have a successful filibuster; however, with the Democrats in the minority, they filibustered many conservative nominees."Actually the history is somewhat balanced. Well there might be one group that did it more successfully. But I am not sure to the exact numbers. The concept of

Actually, no, it isn't."

As mentioned I don't have numbers so it would be foolish to argue on.

"and there is a bill being discussed on the Senate called The Health Insurance Marketplace Modernization and Affordability Act. Fourty-one states wrote a laundry list of things the Insurrence In

Yet you asserted it as true, even though it wasn't. I caution you not to merely reguritate liberal talking points to me without really being able to back it up, because I won't let you get away with it.:-)

You commented that conservatives fight for states rights and I am just saying we shall see.

Yes, we shall, but I think you think that I think that Republican == conservative. That's simply not the case. Until Reagan came along, the Rep

"Yet you asserted it as true, even though it wasn't. I caution you not to merely reguritate liberal talking points to me without really being able to back it up, because I won't let you get away with it.:-)"
Ahh but then again you could show numbers and sources to prove you are right.;)
"That's simply not the case. Until Reagan came along, the Republican party was pretty liberal."
Well I would say it probably started with Truman and the Dixicrat migration to the Republican party.
"I am sure there are
